I LOVE glass jars! Big ones, small ones, any size and I am in LOVE! Now, I know these have been really popular the last couple of season...hello apothecary jars for like $45.00 a piece! Well, I am here to tell you, do not go out and spend that kind of money! The BEST place to find these pretty glass jars are.... Tuesday Morning and Hobby Lobby! Hobby Lobby ALWAYS has their glass on sale, and I put my favorite candles inside the big jars that I fill with sand, rocks, or marbles. This all came about after my cat, Audrey burned her tail while walking across the counter. Rich and I could not figure out what was burning! Dinner? The dishwasher? No, it was the cat. She was fine, just a little charred. ;) In my bathroom, I hate stuff on the counters, but if they are in pretty jars, I seem to be okay with it. Here is a picture of my jars in my bathroom, some inspiration pictures, and some pretty things to put inside of the jars!

Some of my favorite things to add to jars are bath salts, cotton balls and que-tips, and candles. The BEST candles I have found may be a little pricey for candles, but let me tell you, they are worth it. You will love them as much as I do, and honestly, they last a LONG time and smell up the entire house. I sometimes feel really ritzy, (although we all know on a teacher's salary, we are NOT) when I buy luxurious items like candles, soap, towels, and pillows. These little items make a HUGE difference when you go for the best of the best! Although, my secret is the best place to find candles- Francescas, Anthropologie (both sell Voluspa brand), LAFCO (best soap out there, and GREAT candles too!- Oprah's favorite things, and believe me- if Oprah loves it, you will too!), towels (believe it or not, the best my mom has found...SAMS. I know, I know!...PS. Only buy white towels. you can bleach them, and they will always match) and pillows- HOME GOODS AND MARSHALLS HAVE AMAZING PILLOWS! Sometimes, it is the littlest thing that makes your house feel like a million bucks!
